Auto refresh webpage but maintain scroll position

[jambor]

I need to automatically refresh webpage every 10 seconds, however i want to maintain scroll position. Unfortunately when using meta refresh or javascript location.reload, page returns to top.

Does anyone know how to do this with javascript or asp

if you know the position itll be in you can refresh it to an anchor (page.htm#anchorname) but if the user scrolls, itll just scroll back to the same spot over and over and that prolly wouldnt work

this page seems to have the answer though

< html>
< title>< /title>
< head>
< script language="javascript">

// function saves scroll position
function fScroll(val)
{
	var hidScroll = document.getElementById('hidScroll');
	hidScroll.value = val.scrollTop;
}

// function moves scroll position to saved value
function fScrollMove(what)
{
	var hidScroll = document.getElementById('hidScroll');
	document.getElementById(what).scrollTop = hidScroll.value;
}
< /script>
< /head>

< body onload="fScrollMove('div_scroll');" onunload="document.forms(0).submit()";>
< form>
< input type="text" id="hidScroll" name="a">< /br>
< div id="div_scroll" onscroll="fScroll(this);" 
style="overflow:auto;height:100px;width:100px;">
